Vitali Klitschko retained the WBC heavyweight title with a performance of complete dominance over Polish challenger Tomasz Adamek at Stadion Miejski, winning by technical knockout in the 10th round. The Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, continue to control the four major heavyweight world title belts.
Klitschko, 40, rocked Adamek from the opening round onwards with heavy right hands, using his considerable size advantage to keep the 34-year-old Adamek at bay with the jab. Early in the contest, it looked as if Adamek would be stopped, but showing great heart, but little else, the Pole hung in there. Italian referee Massimo Barrovecchio stepped in to stop the one-sided contest 2 minutes, 20 seconds into the 10th round.
The first heavyweight fight held in Poland was cheered on by the 42,000 spectators at Wroclaw's sold-out football stadium, built for next year's European Championship.
"He's a very good boxer," said Klitschko, who looked in great condition for this contest. "He was a cruiserweight champion, he was a light heavyweight champion, but he's not good enough to be a heavyweight champion because it's another league."
Klitschko's only blemish came when he slipped in the eighth round, but he found his feet to continue his commanding ring generalship in the ninth and 10th to improve his record to 43-2, including 40 knockouts. Adamek drops to 44-2. "You win some, you lose some. This was one I lost," said Adamek. Comprehensively so.
